Just watched Bernie Sanders on Maddow and in response to whether Schumer should step down from leadership, his answer was "Look Schumer is part of the Dem Establishment and if he steps down who will replace him?"
I mean... Bernie, WTF???? Take a damn stand.

Copper crystals can form beautiful leafy patterns called dendrites from the Greek word dendron meaning tree. Dendrites grow due to mineral-rich fluids moving through cracks or during rapid cooling from a melt or vapor. Vote and more👇🏼

Y'all are throwing thousands of people off their insurance and doing ~nothing~ about fascism. People criticizing that is not "internal recriminations."
There is nothing "internal" about this. Y'all made it clear you're on one side and the rest of us are on the other.

The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

Also worth repeating: Mamdani's greatest power isn't something just anyone can learn or emulate. He's got an entire PHILOSOPHY and MORAL CORE based on care over punishment that informs everything he says and does. Without that, the charisma means nothing.

This is absolutely Mamdani's not-so-secret secret power: he knows who he is and what he believes and he wants to help ALL of us. So you can't trip him up with a trick question; you can't get a fake note out of him. BECAUSE HE HAS NOTHING TO HIDE AND HE'S DONE THE READING AND HE'S HERE FOR US.
100 percent. I think he benefits from what most great orators benefit from: he knows himself—and more importantly, he talks to (and understands) what moves people. And, as far as I can tell, he believes what he’s saying.

To be clear, I absolutely agree with @brendelbored.bsky.social's point here, which is that this should encourage THOUSANDS more great folks to step up and run for office. Even if Mamdani's exactly one in 500,000, that means there are 684 folks like him out there in the US ready to pop. Could be you!

I am not a crazy ideologue. I just think that the richest society in human history has a moral responsibility to welcome the stranger, feed the hungry, treat the sick, and house the homeless. If doing that requires forcing comfortably-housed people to accept neighborhood change, I'm ok with that.
Probably the key part of this piece. It comes down to the following: "What does prioritizing millionaire homeowners’ aversion to change over the needs of the poor and unhoused do to our souls?"

Idiom Origin
“pull yourself up by your bootstraps”
This was originally *sarcasm* & meant to convey that the act was impossible.
A boot strap is a loop used to help put your boot on.
This 1921 cartoon from the “Nonpartisan Leader” showcases that you can’t pull upward on your boots to levitate.

It's not like I'm rolling in money that I can't give to people who really need it. There are good candidates, and there are good causes, but I'm not going to risk one dime going to people who are fine with millions of people losing health care.

I'm going to actively say at this point that I don't think people should donate to any Dem-run PACs. What guarantee do we have that they won't give the money to cowards to stave off primary challengers?
I mean, it rather feels like the reverse will happen.

For me what's most wretched is fundamentally not Trump. More this:
1) We have 78 MILLION people who saw a man like Trump, listened to him, thought about it, and agreed he'd be a good leader for the nation.
2) We have a system that doesn't halt him, that simply lets him continue to destroy.

I love the feeling of finding something genuinely great on sale. We have some Le Creuset but haven't yet managed to be in the right place/time for any Staub.
My most bougie post
1. Staub is better (if you don't buy the stuff that's like super super on sale which is really just the imperfect stuff under a discount)
2. Even though Le Creuset is known for cast iron, all of my stainless steel is Le Creuset because I got it on a ridic sale
